How to calculate the cost per clam?

The cost per clam can be calculated using the following formula:

Cost per Clam (C) is determined by:

§§ C = \frac{(P \times W)}{Q} §§

where:

  • § C § — cost per clam
  • § P § — price per kilogram of clams
  • § W § — weight of clams in kilograms
  • § Q § — number of clams

This formula allows you to find out how much each clam costs based on the total price of the clams you are purchasing.

Example:

  • Price per Kilogram (§ P §): $20
  • Weight of Clams (§ W §): 1.5 kg
  • Number of Clams (§ Q §): 10

Cost per Clam:

§§ C = \frac{(20 \times 1.5)}{10} = 3.00 §$

This means each clam costs $3.00.
